Swansea v Blackburn
Unpredictable Blackburn are the visitors on Saturday. They’ve had some big wins this season, 0-4 at Derby, 5-0 against Wycombe, but lost at home 0-1 to lowly Forest.
Danger man is Adam Armstrong, the Championships top scorer on 9 goals,
two of those coming in the 2-4 defeat to high flying Reading this week. Goalkeeper Kaminski, who missed that match with a groin strain, is doubtful for Saturday.
Swans will be in buoyant mood and looking for back to back wins after an impressive display in the win against Stoke. Not sure if Ryan Bennet came off injured on Tuesday or if it was just player rotation. He has been a rock from his first game and has slotted in effortlessly at the heart of defence.

After the euphoria of beating bogey side Stoke we move on to play high scoring Blackburn in what will be a stiff test for our defence. We must strive to be consistent if we are to have a successful season. The door is open to get back to back wins and climb the table after leaders Reading lost their unbeaten record last night, going down 3-2 to Coventry. Let's take advantage.
